I will read every interview with Heated Rivalry writer and director Jacob Tierney because his quotes are truly a reporter's dream: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

God, I love and appreciate you, Ken Jennings.

it's weird to be writing, going at a normal speed, rather than my past writing 3k every morning pace. it's kind of nice! just wrote 550 words...gonna get started with my morning...come back to it later, I guess...

Isa "is a beloved poet, artist, and community leader — known for her courage, creativity, and healing presence. The charges against her are politically motivated and racially charged, meant to make an example out of her and deter others from resisting state violence." Support here:

I had a free hour I don't usually have today, so I: folded all the clean laundry, put it away, refilled the dog food jar, unloaded the dishwasher, and watered the plants that needed watering. It felt kind of nice just to putter around for a bit. Also I felt like my puttering wife. Novel!

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

do the work not because you have to but because that's a life well-lived. live the fuck outta your life. the people we buried would be fucking pissed off if you don't. make art. kill nazis. don't get discouraged. enjoy the sunrise. work hard on this and rest. enjoy being alive. go down swinging.

this hit me like a fucking freight train, but it’s important and I am so glad to have read it. Good for him. Fuck. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

Call your reps and tell them to publicly support and vote for this impeachment. reps.fyi

Finally going through Melissa King’s cookbook to distract myself and this may be the greatest picture of her ever taken. Actual irl lol

I don’t know if a flood of calls at this moment asking for dissolution of DHS and abolishment, investigation, etc., of ICE and Noem will matter, but I made the calls - it’s easy to do, and it can’t be a flood without us.

can’t bear to be on here, can’t bear to just sit with the grief, so have to keep scrolling…one of those days where it’s difficult to have hope, but I will always cling to it anyway because sometimes, hope is the only thing we have. and also each other. always each other.

it was always gonna take all of us

this clip—created by the quinn app’s channel, not any fan of the show, to be clear—very precisely slices out hudson’s brief mention of trans women existing. i just want to note that. it was a deliberate choice and at best a cowardly one. you can watch the whole interview here youtu.be/HmVl7XBNEJE

Question: now that thesaurus.com is a full-on AI nightmare, what are we using for synonym seeking? It's been a while for me but not that I'm back into writing....help pls thank youuuu

this is fucking hilarious I’m crying 😂😂😂

THISSSSSS 😂😂😂

akskdkdkfkska if I see it spelled “Rosanov” ONE MORE TIME

I’ve had all the things she said playing in my head since December 12th and like. It’s a problem, but I don’t hate it. But also it’s a lot.

Reminder: Starbucks strike still happening.

So I’d been thinking that Connor Storrie reminded me of someone (other than Patrick Swayze) and it hit me that he looks a lot like a Russian actor. Look at this. It’s kind of crazy. (The actor’s name is Sergei Zhigunov)

Reading an otherwise good fic where, somehow, more than ten years into living in America/Canada, Ilya doesn't know articles exist in English. I can already see this fandom is going to be a trial for me personally.

seems a little insensitive

I can’t even open instagram without all the things she said blasting out at me and you know what….im ok with that

Definitely dreamed about Heated Rivalry all night, so we're all fine here

Morning bump!

I know that everything is a goddamn nightmare, so I am coping with fic in the dreamiest place I can imagine at the moment. I did call my elected officials before writing this. Then I went back into fantasyland.

FIC: "все свои" (Heated Rivalry, M, 3500 words) archiveofourown.org/works/77028386

gonna make a movie about herman melville's tragic gay love for nathaniel hawthorne and call it humpback mountain

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

Please protect them forever and ever amen 🙏🙏🙏

I just can't turn it off now, apparently! Heated Rivalry / Game Changers, 3K, Shane/Ilya, PWP, no actual mpreg but they sure are trying their best!!!!!!! archiveofourown.org/works/76971636

Hi, I’m a car that was doing nothing wrong, this idiot wasn’t looking where she was going! (Shout out to @zebrapig.bsky.social for pulling me back and saving my life 🙃)

Ok, I finished the Empty Netters' episode recaps & nearly swerved off the highway SO MANY TIMES, but mostly at Chris being the horniest latent bisexual EVER (I think it was he who was like "OH MY GOD IMAGINE A BOY'S TRIP WITH GRILLING BUT ALSO ROMANTIC SEX?!" Babe. My guy. You COULD have this.)

Forgot to bump this so: bump!

We put away ALL of Christmas & now the house feels more spacious & easy! Love 2 decorate, love 2 put it all away. In a bit, I will drive nephew dog to a handover location on the Pike to save my family some time coming back from Vermont & listen to straight hockey bros lose their minds over HR. YAY.

Am I considering starting yet another HR fic? It’s possible. It is not out of the realm of possibility.

FIC: "С Новым Годом, С Новым Счастьем" (Heated Rivalry, 2k words, E) archiveofourown.org/works/76802636 Happy New Year, pals 🎊

It's possible that a year from now, on Dec. 31, we will be able to say that things are better now than they were a year ago. I don't think that was possible a year ago. So there's something to hold on to!

SCREAMING about this blog post on Russian and its cursing. Fucking hilarious. Highly recommend. slavamalamud.substack.com/p/not-to-be-...

what if i just never stop setting HR fics in the cottage...happy place...

welp, it’s NYE, & I’m not gonna do a whole write-up of the year or anything, but I will say: it’s been an absolutely wild year for me personally. Just…unbelievably so, in many different ways. It’s been one of the most challenging years to be a person in the world but also so rewarding in other ways.

I SWEAR TO GOD, GAY MEN FORGETTING WOMEN CAN ALSO BE GAY WILL BE MY VILLAIN ORIGIN STORY
